It gives the mixture cohesion and plasticity, rendering it easier to mold and making it strong enough to keep the shape of the pattern after it is removed and while the molten material is poured into the mold.
In the ground, it can absorb the moisture in the surrounding soil, and this is the main reason for using it, as this feature helps stabilize electrode impedance throughout the year.
If added to the feed during its production stage, its ability to trap toxic particles gives the product antimicrobial characteristics that improve the digestive process.
Its high specific surface and porosity make it suitable for the absorption of oil, chemical substances, and lubricant spills, and also to turn liquids into dry powders, rendering them easier to handle.
